Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief

On January 13, 2017, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations, which

were served on all parties and which contained notice to all parties that any objections to the
22
findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. Plaintiff has filed

objections to the findings and recommendations. Defendants did not file a reply.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 304, this
25
court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having reviewed the file, the court finds the
